they often go mad during that time, full of hallucinations and delusions. during heightened emotion festivals, some more mystically-inclined Uzi, who are more likely to want Omyi habitation of the surface again, free their souls by prophesying above, +

and seals the animal to the coral. "dew" is excreted which digests the animal slowly. tubes within the organisms carry nutrients to other part of the communal "body".

mannerisms: none, fully inanimate.

habitat: caves around the equator. needs high humidity and relatively high heat; normally found by hot springs or hot water geysers.

feeding: traps insects and small/medium animals by paralyzing them with the powder that covers them. it undergoes chemical change near body heat +

It's a forest in a stormy summer, herbs or food have to be somewhere. Pela whispers that to himself through thunder and if he could just find anything for grandma, if he could run far enough, if that shadow would stop chasing for a moment, it hasn't left, it's still so solid and close and fast,

I didn't take it.
"I didn't take the damn bow!"
"Like you didn't sneak the berries?"
"Damn fucking right!"
"HUSH!"
Dad's roar no longer cows the siblings, but does silence them. Pela grinds his teeth to aches. Necessities vanishing, stormheads weighing the sky. Why was it on him?
Or was it in him?

bringing nutrients back up through the tendrils. if it runs out of food it can reach with its tendrils (due to the prey being too large or far away), the remains of the prey drop off to be food for scavengers.

mannerisms: no brain and no characteristic activity beyond movement and feeding.

reproduces asexually, through "spore" eggs released on drafts. only sensory organ is one that tells it gravity and openness of space.

habitat: upper levels of caves, especially near the equator.

feeding: above to catch prey. then, mucus slowly dissolves and digests, +

mucus along the tendrils rapidly dissolve and integrate with the prey's flesh, so it can't remove itself/be removed. high tensile strength tendrils. retractable "roots" from the organs dissolve and burrow into rock to keep attached to the roof against struggling and/or heavy prey. no eyes or ears. +

Sun wakes a family closer to fracture than the river's ice. Pela doesn't move, feigns sleep, plays fantasies. All are better than here.
Coughing starts the day's noise, more brittle, spitting more blood. His grandma will be lucky to succumb before their low food does.
Pela keeps his eyes closed.
